This has always seemed to be an attractive lens to me. It would be good to have some closer testing or comparisons to how it works on the Sonys.
This is one of worst offender on Sony system. Based on what I have seen on Z7, Id guess its performance on Z7 is somewhere between M and A7x and should be closer to M.

Last week I took a look at some of the manufacturers, including the ones on ebay, that offers adapters for the Z mount and none of them offered one for the E mount yet. I read earlier over at digilloyd.com that there might be a patent issue stopping adapter makers to make one for the E mount but could that really be the case if you're just making a dumb adapter?
I have a feeling E to Z adapter will be more challenge to make if it is possible at all. It only have 2mm thickness difference and it need offer two side mount. Even if it is possible, put it on and off will be difficult as well.
Leitax type seems make more sense. IMHO.

This is a great thread, thanks for all the contributions here! Since the introduction of Sony's first APS-C bodies I'm eagerly waiting for a FF mirrorless camera that can make good use of all my alternative lenses. With every new Sony body I was on the fence to get one, but eventually hesitated, because they all weren't convincing enough to replace my Canon system or even exist parallel to it. The A7rII was almost there - and the specifications of the A7rIII were even better, although it doesn't handle M lenses well enough. When I went to the store in order to buy one, I held it in hand for the first time - and was immediately revolted by the ergonomics. It simply doesn't feel right. Not to mention the layout of the menus.
With 30 years experience in photography, I know, that this is far more important for me than specs and I knew immediately that I won't like the camera. Therefore I'm still here with my 5N, which is at least tiny enough to have a place in my bag from time to time.
I'm also a bit disappointed with Canons R. It may be a good enough camera, but it doesn't add much to my 5Ds without in-body IS and a sensor which isn't in the same league as Sonys or Nikons.
The Nikon Z7 is actually the only body which seems to made everything right. The more I read here, the more I'm convinced that I would like it. The only (sadly huge) problem is, that I wouldn't be able to use my Canon EF lenses at all on this body and that all my lenses have adapters for either Canon or Sony E-mount.
It will be seen if it is possible to adapt e-mount on Nikon Z. Do any of you have an idea or heard anything from Metabones et al. if an Adapter to Canon EF would be possible or is in development? A purely mechanical adapter would be a nice first step since I use my TS-E for example often with the same aperture (which can be set sticky on Canon bodies). An electronic adapter would be great of course. Otherwise I have to (again..) wait for the next Canon mirrorless body. Or maybe Panasonic will surprise me......Show more →
If you think in additional to TS-E glass, you can't leave without other Canon EF glass and ZE, then, waiting for next body seems a better option. However, TBH, based on what I have seen with Nikon Z and Canon R glass. I think ditch either EF and F glass seems a good step to do at this stage, especially for no sports no action shooting. I plan to do exact as that.
I have found ZF.2 35mmf2 distagon can't even compete with sigma art which is not as good as latest Z 35 S. Yes, Revolution has begin. I personally only collect character lens from R and M and even old planar zeiss etc.. Those can be used on any system in the future and I don't expect they can be replaced with future technology.
If you do wait for next Canon pro type of body, first of all, it may focused on action and sports. Do you need that? Yeh, potentially, it could offer 5dS type of R. but who knows, Canon has been quite unpredictable. The lens so far seems all aim for wedding, event and portrait but landscape. Nikon seems pretty clear on what they have and planned for Z. Another thing I feel for next Canon pro-R, Nikon proZ, or PanasonicLeica, all expected to be bigger size and heavier. Initially, I complain the size of Z7 wish it can be bigger, but after extensive use, especially with M glass and decent size R and ZF, I am not sure I will pick big size over Z7 anymore. It is a trade off at best. I do realize every single time I pick up Z7 than D850 or DF since I got it. And Z7 do offer very nice holding experience for me. and you can feel the dense of it and can appreciate its precision and build quality every time in your hand.
Now it is well passed honeymoon period, however I love it more and more with more use

Wouldn't it be logical for third party E-mount manufacturers (Zeiss, Voigtlander, Sigma) to release those lenses also in Nikon Z and Canon RF mounts? Therefore no adapter required. Though I guess if you already own a given lens in E mount, it would be preferable not to have to buy it again just for another mount.
Another question: any noticeable edge color shifts with the adapted rangefinder lenses? I haven't read anything so far to indicate it has been a problem, or did I miss that? Michael's 21 SEM edge crops looked slightly cyan shifted, but didn't seem that obvious.
Ulff: unfortunately Canon EF compatibility is much better with the Sony cameras. I'm also a big Canon user and my interest in the Z system here is purely for adapted rangefinder lenses... for my EF lenses, I'll wait it out for Canon to release more interesting R bodies. In the meantime I'm getting OK by with my DSLRs. ...Show more →
Hi, Ron, I checked all my wide angle images with RF glass very carefully, I can't detect much color shift at all. I do see strong vignette most of time, However I didn't apply any lens profile. I have n't really used those RF glasses on any serious image yet other than pixel PP them. I even feel 35VC has less color shift on Z7 than M240P if you ask me
Here are a few more 35mm VC samples

so any work supporting the new mounts must have started quite recently.
